Features: This book is divided into two parts: General Principles and Specific Diseases. The General Principles mainly include: mechanisms of fever, general patterns, clinical classification, fever duration and types; common and rare diseases and their dialectical relationship; clues for diagnosis, atypical manifestations of atypical cases; precautions for history taking and physical examination; summarizing the significance and role of various autoantibodies, infectious antibodies, tumor markers, biochemistry, enzyme profiles, cells, pathology, and surgical findings; widely collected diseases associated with fever and certain symptoms or signs, which helps narrow the diagnostic range and reduce missed diagnoses; providing references for diagnostic procedures and steps for fever-related diseases. The Specific Diseases emphasizes the principle of learning from practice, selecting 295 common or fever-associated diseases and groups. For each disease, it introduces its name, concept, symptoms, clinical types, examination methods, and diagnostic criteria based on practical needs, aiming to provide a preliminary understanding of the disease. Some sections include clinical statistical data of the disease group for further familiarization. The case analysis primarily collects nearly 1,700 cases from major domestic and some international journals, including 179 cases diagnosed by the author or treated personally.
